Our sweet Riley Rose Sherman is now in heaven. As an honorary Saint and member of our Xavier family, we are all upset to see her leave us at such a young age. Whether she was visiting our campus for sports games, masses, or assemblies, she always brought a positive light into the lives of every student and faculty member.

On May 1, we left our books at home to say goodbye. It was beautiful to see such a large population of Xavier students, parents, and faculty all joined together to celebrate Riley’s life, reflect on the impact she made in our lives and in our community, and share our love and support for the family members and loved ones she left behind. You will always be a Saint in our eyes, Riley. You will always be remembered, cherished, and loved. Rest in peace, sweet girl.
